It is the most comprehensive resource I have found for not only my own health and performance but also for my patients and the athletes I provide care for."―Kyle J. Cassas, MD

"Essential Sports Nutrition provides foundational knowledge informed by the latest research and information. Marni guides the reader through the most important principles of nutrition management for sport and exercise performance in a manner that is straight forward, and most importantly, applicable to everyday life. As a clinical sport psychologist, this book is imperative to my work in helping athletes and fitness enthusiasts learn accurate and healthy beliefs about food, their health, and sport performance."―Gloria Petruzzelli, PsyD

"If you have a remote interest in food and/or fueling for athletic means, irrespective of your demographic or relationship with food, I'm confident you will have a tough time putting this book down. Marni masterfully covers the most pressing topics related to everyday nutrition for the casually active person up to the competitive athlete."―Chris Johnson, MPT
